VentureBeat recently sat down (virtually) with Itamar Golan, co-founder and CEO of Prompt Security, to chat through the GenAI security challenges organizations of all sizes face. We talked about shadow AI sprawl, the strategic decisions that led Golan to pursue building a market-leading platform versus competing on features, and a real-world incident that crystallized why protecting AI...
This weekend, Andrej Karpathy, the former director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI, decided he wanted to read a book. But he did not want to read it alone. He wanted to read it accompanied by a committee of artificial intelligences, each offering its own perspective, critiquing the others, and eventually synthesizing a final answer under the guidance of a "Chairman."To make this...
It's not just Google's Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 we have to be thankful for this year around the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S.No, today the German AI startup Black Forest Labs released FLUX.2, a new image generation and editing system complete with four different models designed to support production-grade creative workflows.FLUX.2 introduces multi-...
Researchers at Alibaba’s Tongyi Lab have developed a new framework for self-evolving agents that create their own training data by exploring their application environments. The framework, AgentEvolver, uses the knowledge and reasoning capabilities of large language models for autonomous learning, addressing the high costs and manual effort typically required to gather task-specific datasets....
President Donald Trump’s new “Genesis Mission” unveiled Monday, November 24, 2025, is billed as a generational leap in how the United States does science akin to the Manhattan Project that created the atomic bomb during World War II. The executive order directs the Department of Energy (DOE) to build a “closed-loop AI experimentation platform” that links the country’s 17 national laboratories,...
OpenAI expanded its data residency regions for ChatGPT and its API, giving enterprise users the option to store and process their data closest to their business operations and better comply with local regulations. This expansion removes one of the biggest compliance blockers preventing global enterprises from deploying ChatGPT at scale.Data residency, often an overlooked piece of the enterprise...
Anthropic released its most capable artificial intelligence model yet on Monday, slashing prices by roughly two-thirds while claiming state-of-the-art performance on software engineering tasks — a strategic move that intensifies the AI startup's competition with deep-pocketed rivals OpenAI and Google.The new model, Claude Opus 4.5, scored higher on Anthropic's most challenging internal...
China's DeepSeek-R1 LLM generates up to 50% more insecure code when prompted with politically sensitive inputs such as "Falun Gong," "Uyghurs," or "Tibet," according to new research from CrowdStrike. The latest in a series of discoveries — following Wiz Research's January database exposure, NowSecure's iOS app vulnerabilities, Cisco's 100% jailbreak success rate, and NIST's finding that DeepSeek...
Remember the first time you heard your company was going AI-first?Maybe it came through an all-hands that felt different from the others. The CEO said, “By Q3, every team should have integrated AI into their core workflows,” and the energy in the room (or on the Zoom) shifted. You saw a mix of excitement and anxiety ripple through the crowd.Maybe you were one of the curious ones. Maybe you’d...
Microsoft has introduced Fara-7B, a new 7-billion parameter model designed to act as a Computer Use Agent (CUA) capable of performing complex tasks directly on a user’s device. Fara-7B sets new state-of-the-art results for its size, providing a way to build AI agents that don’t rely on massive, cloud-dependent models and can run on compact systems with lower latency and enhanced privacy.While the...
